Bossypants by Tina Fey

Bossypants, as you might guess from the cover, isn't a typical star memoir. It’s a quick look at Tina Fey's childhood and early life and then more on her time at SNL and then at 30 Rock. Mixed in with all of this is a narrative of what it’s like to be a woman in power in the entertainment business. It’s funny and down to earth and honest – in a guarded kind of way (which I respect). Reading this book reminded me that no matter how sick I sometimes might get of Liz Lemon, I want to see more from Tina Fey.

About My Blog's Name

My blog name comes from people crowding re-shelving trucks in the library, eager to see what other people were returning. There's an excitement in finding out what other people are reading, and it's a great way to get ideas for what to read next.

Looking for More Books?

For each title, I've listed a few other books under Read It With. These are titles that are similar in some way: plots, tones, themes, settings, characters, and so on. They're not straight-up read-alikes; for example, sometimes a juvenile book might have a picture book, a YA book, or an adult book listed. There's not really a science to how I come up with them - they're just meant to spark something if you're interested in a title.
